Do you know why the Kotlin compiler fails under Java 9?

[julienviet]

you mean the code compiler ?

[julienviet]

like "vertx run foo.kts" ?

[napperley]

Silly question here: What is the code compiler in Vert.x?

So it is the Kotlin scripting part that breaks under Java 9. That would mean the other Kotlin parts should work fine in Java 9.

[julienviet]

I've tested it under jaa 9 and it was ok

[julienviet]

but I've heard that the next version of kotlin 1.2 will truly support java 9

[napperley]

Yes, that is true. Guessing with the current Kotlin 1.2 Beta that the stable release will be released in about 5-6 months time 🍀.

Java 9 is a bit of a game changer 🙂
